A woman who faced the possibility of receiving the death penalty in the killing of an 89-year-old Northside man, agreed to accept a life sentence in exchange for a guilty plea, her attorney confirmed Wednesday.

Margaret Kinney, 43, will not be eligible for parole. She pleaded guilty last week in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court to aggravated murder and aggravated robbery, records show.

Kinney and her boyfriend, Michael Stumph, were charged last year in the November 2016 killing of Otto Stewart.

Kinney told police she stabbed Stewart with a large kitchen knife. Prosecutors said a pillow also was used to suffocate Stewart, and a cord wrapped around his neck had been tightened like a tourniquet.

The killing happened at Stewart’s home on Virginia Avenue, officials reported.

Prosecutors said Kinney and Stumph had befriended Stewart and were “taking advantage of him.” Prosecutors said he was lending money to the couple, who were homeless, although they lived with Stewart for a time.

Stewart eventually told them to find jobs and pay him back, prosecutors said.

Stumph still faces the death penalty. He is scheduled to stand trial in July. Kinney is willing to testify if his case goes to trial, her attorney, Elizabeth Agar, said.

Kinney pleaded guilty and was sentenced March 6, court records show. A judgement entry regarding her sentence was filed this week.
